Update: The winner is Maney G. Congratulations!
As I mentioned in my previous post about freezer cooking resources, one of my favorite freezer cooking books is Holly Clegg’s Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals.
Now that I am cooking freezer meals monthly, I go to this cookbook often. Not only are her recipes tasty both fresh and after a bout in the freezer (you can’t even tell the meals were reheated!), but they are healthy. Each recipe is packed with veggies, but the vegetables seamless blend into the meal so even my fussy 20 month old daughter doesn’t notice she is eating a healthy meal. My son has loved all of her recipes.
This cookbook contains the nutritional information and diabetic exchanges for every recipe at the bottom of the page.
The beginning of the book has a chapter on Freezing Facts and guides you as to what foods are suitable or not for freezing. She also includes a freezing guide as to how to freeze certain food and a timetable for how long each food maintains optimal freshness and taste in the freezer.
She has recipes for delicious appetizers, breads, soups and stews, sides, main meals, desserts.
I am excited to share that Holly Clegg has graciously agreed to sponsor this week’s giveaway. She will give one lucky winner a signed copy of her Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. Whether you are a once a month cooking veteran or are new to the idea of freezing some of your meals ahead, you will love this cookbook.
To see some sample recipes from the book and testimonies from cooks who have used the book, go to Holly Clegg’s website.

I am desperately trying to find ways to cut food costs so that I can continue to stay at home with my daughter. I think this would be helpful so that when it's been "one of those days" I can reach into the freezer and pull out a healthy meal for my family instead of an unhealthy and expensive drive through meal.I think this would be a great book to share with the other stay-at-home moms in my moms group.

I would love to start freezer cooking because we are a family of six living with my inlaws. Cooking for 8 people can be daunting at times, and I would like to start the freezer cooking to help with our time. My e-mail is [email protected]
I love this idea and have not yet started to do it. I think that you are right it will greatly cut down on take out from the taco stand around the corner.
This book would be great for my family! I have some health issues that we're trying to get figured out and this would be a great thing to be able to do on good days to be able to get ready for the bad ones. Thanks for the giveaway!

We recently purchased a small chest freezer, and it would be great to fill it up with meals that were mostly heat and eat! I have been trying to maintain a low cost budget for our monthly food bill and do menu planning. I love the idea of cooking big one or two days a month and then having quick but satisfying meals.
I would like to win because I love learing new recipes.

I am new to freezer cooking – and right now am using books from the library. I have to check them out or write down the after-freezing directions.
I am now a blog follower – and my last post I forgot my email address.
